So a few weeks back I am just sitting at the house and I ask myself, "Where are the pretty flowers? Why am I not growing anything?" I turned to Jeffrey and asked him, "How long are we planning on being at this house?" Once I found out a few years I asked him to take me to Lowes. I know he thinks I am crazy but he does take me.
This is what happened...
Amazing right? Only one casualty right now. Of course it had to be my favorite, one of those beautiful begonias. I was so sad. I can safely say that it has been over a month and the rest is going strong.
Do you want to see what started it? Those ferns replaced a very sad half dead, new growth Phlox flower from last year. Jeffrey asked me if I really wanted to take out the only greenery at the house. Ha ha, funny man. He kept telling me it was a weed.
Bam! I'm killing it! So now it's garden time. Jeffrey does not believe he will see any produce from the garden, but I am banking on getting some summer squash and melons. I hope a few okra, beets and carrots as well!
I am going to say this, I don't know how our parents and grandparents did this in the day. Either I am just way, way out of shape or this is just plain hard! I bet Jeffrey and I took many breaks, well me more than him. I am very happy to say that the garden is looking great! No produce just yet...but just you wait!
They are definitely growing! I even added more flowers and some herbs. I stopped there because it's just too much of a possibility for me to kill.
So what are you growing this year in your garden?
